Paul Hedderman ~ Traveling Lighter 8-30-22

In this program, Paul through the vehicle of Satsang and repetition will be helping us to let go of misidentification and recognize Being Consciousness as our Truth.

Paul suggests repetition through Satsangs is helpful.  It is an example of how the dreamING repurposes another programming element, repetition.   What was used to (mis)identify, becomes instead a helpful undoing within the dreaming of that identification.  The helpfulness of the Message is recognized in what Paul calls “traveling lighter.”  In the surrender of an assumed need to escape/improve, the ever-present reality of consciousness already now/here becomes where our interest stays. Being consciousness in contact (in/as/through sensory experiencING), we appreciate being “successful” – already, as that Reality.

Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert and Connie Poole play Regina Dawn Akers’ Early Teaching videos and invite those in attendance to contemplate those teachings along with them.

Movie Discussion Group: “The Map of Tiny Perfect Things”

Listen to the Recording

Rev. Jacquelyn Eckhert facilitated this month’s movie discussion.

The Map of Tiny Perfect Things is a 2021 American science fiction romantic comedy. The film follows one teenager contentedly living the same day in an endless loop who gets his world turned upside-down when he meets a girl who’s also stuck in the time warp. What follows is a love story with a fantastical twist, as the two struggle to figure out how and whether to escape their never-ending day. There are themes such as the illusion of time, the illusion of reality, and the infinite possibilities always accessible. 

Here is the playsheet that was designed to foster inspired watching: Map of Tiny Perfect Things Playsheet.

The movie is available on Amazon.

Clarifying the Teachings 31 ~ The Slits in the Script

In the Sanctuary Sunday Evenings
at 7 pm ET (5 pm MT)

Do you find yourself having questions about some of the teachings from Regina Dawn Akers? Have you ever wondered what Regina’s Inner Wisdom meant to Regina?

For many years, Regina has been a spiritual teacher for so many. As such, she has taught on many topics through her own contemplations and spiritual journey.  2022 is Regina’s final year as a full-time employee with Awakening Together. In this final year, Regina has been inspired to clarify her teachings, as they come to her, on her path.

Each week, Regina picks a topic and points us directly to the intention of the teaching around that topic. In addition, when time permits, Regina takes questions on the topic of the teaching in a Satsang-type of format.

These teachings are available on this website as well as on our podcast channel, Clarifying the Teachings with Regina Dawn Akers.
